How you spend your money is who you are in the world.
We are in a time where we are seeing the largest redistribution of wealth. A time when our money and wealth can be used for the world we want to see. This episode is for the changemakers, the ones who feel a deep sense of responsibility for humanity.
Right now we are seeing the rise of a huge number of charities, Givealittles, crowdfunding, and social media campaigns to raise funds for global, societal, and individual causes...
It’s no wonder giving can feel reactive and overwhelming.
This episode seeks to empower and educate you on moving to a proactive place where you can support the causes you care the most about in an easy and accessible way.
Our guests are Alice Marsh and Stephen Johnson, millennial thought leaders in philanthropy and charity. They are husband and wife, and co-founders of Chive, a platform reimagining how grassroots charities are represented in New Zealand.
Donating is an opportunity to AMPLIFY impact with low effort and is something this couple is passionately advocating for amongst their millennial peers. They’re making values-based giving strategies accessible to Kiwis in the digital space, providing visibility to some of the incredible work happening in our communities to reduce harm or create opportunities.
In this episode, we explore how giving charitably—whether that be financial, in time, or way of being—creates an impact so much bigger than yourself, independent of your ego.
In this enlightening episode, we cover:
Highs and lows of social impact
Perspectives on moral responsibility and wealth as a force for good
Impact through intentional giving vs intentional spending
Small and medium charity’s greatest challenges (and how you can help solve them)
The mismatch of money circulating vs the change we want to see in the world
Acknowledging Privilege and how to start where you are
Dispelling the stigma around high operational costs in charities
How to circulate your wealth in an aligned way
